What is your overall feelings about this puzzle?
Oh no, no, no, no... I'm not ready yet! I need more time to end final project for my studies... And this teaser was so great! Why are you doing so great events?! ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I wont be done with designing this main event for at least a month... maybe even two. I want it to be extra special and enjoyable... so you don't need to get too upset yet...
;)

Oh, what a great news for me :) I have chances to end my studies then. Yay! :)

And solved. Crossword was pretty nice. Decoding was kind of annoying, although initially figuring out how it worked was nice. Vowel puzzles are really fun and simple.
I really don't get how you continuously keep making these huge giveaway events(this just being a teaser), but that's not a bad thing. Keep it up!

I don't have a job.... And it's my number 1 hobby!
No decoding of GA or ITH links in main event!
Congrats for solving!

Hi Jeff. I only tried to solve this yesterday but for the last two days, I haven't been able to open the crosswords, I keep getting a "CPU-Limit-Reached" error on the hosting website:
http://error404.000webhost.com/cpu-limit-reached.html
Curiously, I can open http://jeffspuzzles.comli.com/, but when I try to open any of the crosswords below that, it fails for me.

Comment has been collapsed.

You had me till the final step of crossword result decoding. After reading all hints/spoilers I understand all but the C/SA/F parts.
Not the leisurely stroll I imagined :P

Look at key under pic on 1st ITH of countries/continents with landmark names...
Comment has been collapsed.
That's what you get when you go all mathy on me :P
I get the meaning of the letters, but not in a calculation
C+12SA...
See, C+12 I understand...but +12....SA....
SA (or B) is not a mathematical constant....it doesn't have a known value...does it?
scratches head
Comment has been collapsed.
Look at crossword-- C and SA have answers that connect at a specific letter.....
FACEPALM?
Comment has been collapsed.
That explains the C in this, but what about the SA in this? What's the function of that?
C+12SA
Comment has been collapsed.
C-China, SA-South America (Brazil)
answers for these two areas share a common letter in CROSSword that needs to be adjusted.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ohhhh, it means shared between C and SA...it looks like a mathematical formula to me. C+12*SA So I was wondering what the heck SA was supposed to be.
I figured out you meant the shared letter without the SA. But that was crossword 1, there were only 5 answers.
I'd have used a slash myself probably... C/SA+12
Comment has been collapsed.
And SA should be a B, it's not using the same system as the other letters. :)

Well its really a subdomain of a site used by Nordhbane. He offered me to use it for the crossword scripts.

Finally I did it!!
"Beaten the full World Landmark Teaser Puzzle!!"
It was awesome! I've really enjoyed!
The crosswords not too hard and even educational.
vowel quiz was pretty easy even for non-english speaker, thanks for that!
Only cracking a codes from first three crosswords was hard for me, but I've made it with kindly author's help.
Thanks again! You made a great work, bro! looking forward to the next big adventure)

YEY! Thank you so much for your excitement and kind words! You're the best!

Thanks to everyone's questions and the helpful hints I so far reached the crossword 3. The hints in crosswords 1 and 2 were rather easy, but this one has me stumped. I'm talking about the characters for the giveaway, not the actual crossword solutions...
Comment has been collapsed.
You follow same process to decode and get ga characters...
Only difference is the lower and uppercase... Think of the pictures which is big and which is smaller?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the fact that one character appears to be a number is my problem. :o
Comment has been collapsed.
Doh! Thanks once again. Not only did I have problems there, I also had the order wrong...
Now I'm at the pinnacle crossword, which I'll hopefully solve tomorrow. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I did it! :)

Hello all!!
I am busy working on the HUGE puzzle event of 250 world landmarks but need to get out this small TEASER puzzle for the reasons of:
The main event will have more types of puzzles and use coordinates of latitude and longitude! It will have 500+ GAs and alot more fun that previous puzzles. You will REALLY see, travel, and experience the world landmarks and LEARN A TON about them!!
Stages to solve this puzzle:
1) Use image below to find first Hidden ITH... (add the letters in order to the link http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/????????)
2) Solve the three crosswords and use the results of each crossword to find hidden GAs.
3) Bring back passcodes from GAs you found for answers on the original ITH.
4) Solving all three crossword puzzles gives access to another hidden ITH.
5) Solve passcode puzzles on each GA reward there to gain access to final Hidden Reward GA! (provided by Deathmonkey7)
SOooooo, all you need to start is the attached image below!
Good luck!
